Cobourg- There was a bit of slushy ice in the low waves on the shore of Lake Ontario. The birds would swim in close to shore then swim back out again.

Mississauga - While this species is viewed every winter in the area with a few individuals, it is still a rarity in the province and is considered a species at risk in Eastern Canada. Females are usually observed more than males in southern Ontario.
